Egyptians hone skills at Luban Workshop

CAIRO — At Ain Shams University in Cairo, tech students are proud of their outstanding hands-on experience thanks to a workshop in the name of Lu Ban, a craftsman in ancient China.

"The Luban Workshop helps us to put what we learned into practice through the process of dismantling, examining, repairing and assembling real engines, brakes, etc," Karim Mohammed, a mechatronics engineering student at ASU, said while overhauling a car at the workshop.

Mohammed said he easily outrivaled others in training sessions outside the university after going through the "efficient and high-level training" at the workshop.
